Server Merges
We have two batches of servers that will be merging in earlyDecember:
- Merging into Server 2: 3, 4 & 8
- Merging into Server 9: 10-12
This will give a boost to the population and create more vitality on these servers. The merges will take place on Wednesday, December 4 in the morning, Central Time. The affected servers will be down during this process.
Game Modes
Guild War:
We will be scheduling the merge to have a minimum impact on Guild War. The merge will not impact wars that are in progress, and will result in more guilds available for matchmaking.
Invasion:
Invasion will be paused for the week of the merge. Unclaimed rewards will be sent to players through a mail message.
After the merge, guilds and players from servers that are moving will see that they have zero invasion points and will demote in the next invasion. This is a display issue only, and players will find themselves in the correct leagues when the next invasion begins.
Creep Surge:
Guilds should not see any change in Creep Surge.
Rankings:
Rankings lists from all servers will be automatically merged and sorted.
Arena/Coliseum:
Leagues will be automatically merged and sorted. If a Challenger League is over capacity, for each person who comes in, the bottom 2 players will be demoted out of Challenger instead of 1. This will continue until there are only 100/50 players in Challenger again.
Due to the bottom 2 players demoting, if you are in Platinum 1 and you win a battle against the last place Challenger, you will be demoted back to Platinum 1 until the number of players in Challenger returns to 100/50.
Challenges:
Weekly Challenges will be turned off for the week prior to the merge. Other challenges you may have in progress will continue without interruption.
City Watch, Heist, Trials, The Port:
These are associated with an individual player’s account and will not be changed due to the merge.
Again, please keep in mind:
- Challenger Leagues will demote the bottom TWO players at a time until the Challenger League size returns to 100 players
- Regular Arena and Coliseum Leagues will merge and split as always after the merge. You may notice an increase in the amount of splitting/merging while things settle down.
Account Consolidation
After the merge, some players will have more than one account on the resulting server. Once the merge is complete, players that end up with more than one account on the server due to the merge will be able to consolidate inventory from alternate accounts. Players are not required to merge accounts, and it’s possible to continue with multiple accounts on the same server. If you want to keep multiple accounts as-is, you do not need to take any additional action.
If you would like to consolidate accounts, please review the following details:
The Process (How To Request a Consolidation):
You have 2 weeks from when the merge completes to request a transfer, after which we will no longer offer account consolidation. All account consolidation requests must be received by 10:00 AM CT on December 16.
- Make a note of the Account ID you want to transfer your goods into - this will be your DESTINATION account
- Make a note of the Account ID(s) you want to transfer goods OUT of - These are the accounts that will be PERMANENTLY CLOSED after the transfer is complete.
- Submit a ticket to Customer Support with all account ID’s, and carefully indicate which Account ID is the Destination Account (i.e the Account you want to KEEP), and which are the accounts you’re transferring goods out of. To help us expedite these requests, please include “Account Consolidation Request” at the top of your ticket.
- If you have multiple accounts you wish to transfer goods out of, please indicate them all in the same ticket.
- Note that this is an IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS, and you will never have access to your retired accounts again.
- Sit back and relax - Support will process your request as quickly as possible starting 24 hours after the merge is complete.

- Finish your Daily Quests to claim as much loot as you can, because no Daily Quests will transfer.
- Unlocked difficulty levels for Trials, Port, Heist, and City Watch will be determined by the Destination Account
- If you are a Guild Leader and are consolidating accounts, it is highly recommended you make destination account Guild Leader before you request the consolidation.
- Inform your friends! Your transferred account(s) will be PERMANENTLY CLOSED following the transfer of goods to your destination account, and your friend list WILL NOT transfer.
- Chat silences, suspensions, and bans will not be changed by the merge or account consolidation.
